内容简介A landmark: the first book to provide an in-depth history of the Chicago School of Economics, which sprang from the economics departments at the University of Chicago and its business school in the mid-twentieth century and went on to revolutionize how we think about economics and business.

When Richard Nixon said "We are all Keynesians now" in 1971, few could have predicted that the next three decades would have resulted in a complete transformation of the global economic landscape. This transformation was led chiefly by a small but potently influential circle of thinkers teaching or trained in (or both) Chicago's departments of economics and political science and its business school-many of whom had worked in relative obscurity for decades.

These thinkers-including Milton Friedman, Gary Becker, George Stigler, Robert Lucas, and others-revolutionized economic orthodoxy in the second half of the twentieth century, utterly dominated the Nobel Prizes awarded in economics, and changed how business is done around the world.

Written by a leading European economic thinker with his own long ties to the University of Chicago,The Chicago Schoolis the first in-depth look at how this remarkable group of thinkers came together, and how their influence and importance grew around the world.

Johan Van Overtveldt, PhD, is the director of the Belgium-based think tank VKW Metena, which works on a breadth of economics-related issues. Formerly editor in chief of the Belgian newsmagazineTrends, he has written several books in Dutch on economics-related issues, and he contributes frequently to the Wall Street Journal Europe and other publications.

编辑推荐From Publishers Weekly

At its narrowest definition, "Chicago School" refers to a movement in economics whose central figure was Milton Friedman. At its broadest definition, the term refers to a system of research encouraged at the University of Chicago since its founding in 1892, which has produced luminaries in the natural and social sciences and a distinctive style of exposition and debate. This book begins with both definitions and explores how the broad Chicago tradition attracted and shaped the researchers who built an intellectual movement that not only revolutionized economics and finance, but was deeply influential in law, sociology and government. Emphasizing the links between the lives and ideas of dozens of famous Chicago researchers, it spans many intellectual fields over more that a century. The sometimes dizzying result is held together by core principles that define the Chicago tradition: insistence that ideas must be supported by both theory and data, hard work and vigorous debate. In particular, the workshop system nurtured strong personalities who could build and defend orthodoxy, and dissenters of equal strength. As an intellectual or institutional history, this study is superficial due to its breadth, but its exploration of the interaction between institution and idea is unique and fascinating.(May)

FromBooklist

Van Overtveldt, director of a European think tank devoted to economics, describes the role economists at the University of Chicago have played in the development of economics as a science, including their dominance among Nobel Prize winners. He sets out to answer questions such as what is distinctive about the University of Chicago and what are the major contributions that give Chicago economists a prominent place in the twentieth century's history of economic thought; they have defended the free-market system for decades. He presents what he calls their Chicago Tradition, with characteristics such as a zealous work ethic; belief in economics as a true science that is highly relevant for everyday life; and preparedness to question everything. We learn about their influential economic thinkers, including Milton Friedman, Gary Becker, George Stigler and Robert Lucas, whose work transformed business practices around the world. Although traditional thinking is subject to challenge, the author makes a persuasive argument against concern that the university is losing its leading role in economics. Excellent historical perspective.Mary Whaley

Review

"This is an admirably detailed and thoroughly welcome history of a great centre of economic thought." -- "The Economist"

"Overtveldt is at his best in his depiction of the ruthless yet stimulating internal culture of the department during these years. Workshops that might be polite but sleepy seminars at other campuses became 'bloodbaths' at Chicago. Graduate classes were exercises in 'terror.'" -- Kim Phillips-Fein, "Chicago Tribune"

"Unique and fascinating." -- "Publishers Weekly"

"I enjoyed the book very much. Instead of stopping at Friedman, Coase and Director, it also offers a comprehensive treatment of [many] neglected figures... it is a landmark in the history of economic thought." -- Tyler Cowen, "The Marginal Revolution"
